I love this place! I have been here several times since they first opened due to my previous job, but coming back for leisure/fun made me love it even more. What gets me is the attention to detail, the stories that comes together. This place is so intricate and beautiful! It is a must see and the Lori (the owner) is wonderful! You can tell that she is authentic and just an all around great lady! The cost is very affordable, but be prepared to be in the museum for a long period of time-there is A LOT to see!

This is such an interesting attraction from the moment you enter there's so much to see. You must have time to focus and digest all the beautiful stories being told about times gone by to the present. The displays are beautifully arranged to tell historical accounts of past events to modern day era. The details in these displays takes one to a place of calm and wonder. Take your restroom break before entering because like me you don't want to stop looking. A variety of cultures are represented as well as religion,various occupations,and common interest. There is also a section of castle houses and a bit of interactive pauses for young children. If you're into doll houses all the materials one would need are there including fabrics. I was definitely in awe and will visit again. My visit took two plus hours and I could have stayed longer. Lori,the proprietor was a gracious guide into the life of doll houses.

This was very neat!! Definitely recommend stopping by this little museum when you're in Danville. The prices arent bad at all, and theres so much cool stuff to look at. I wish i would have had some dollhouses like these when I were a little girl! It would have been a dream come true to go visit that place when I was little. Must visit.

I've been to the Dollhouse Museum every time I've been to Danville. I love it. I see something new and interesting every time. I am fascinated by the skill, the imagination, and the effort that go into each display. I've taken someone new every time and they love it as much as I do. It is always the highlight of my trips to Danville.

We recently took our 6 year old granddaughter to see the dollhouses. She loved all of the exhibits, but fell in love with the "Forest" part.. We spent about an hour looking at the various dollhouses. After, there were dollhouses for her to play with. There are all kinds of miniature things to buy for dollhouse lovers at very reasonable prices. This museum could be enjoyed by various ages. There is also a large collection of beautiful period dresses. I can't wait to go back with our 8 year old granddaughter. My husband loved the museum as well, and was very impressed with the attention to detail in all of the exhibits.

This little museum is a true National Treasure! This was my first visit.... and will not be my last. The doll houses on exhibit were stunning, but the way the displays were presented made this far and away a "must see". I'm originally from Michigan and am used to the quality standard of the Henry Ford museum and Greenfield Village, this museum delivers the same quality without Uncle Henry's wallet.

Neat little place for a visit. I took my girls there and of course they loved all the miniature displays etc. Great place for a collector and dollhouse enthusiast. There is a nice little gift shop and almost anything you want is for sale.

My girlfriend wanted to go here as she is an avid dollhouse collector, creator etc. I didn't want to go, but it was her birthday so we went-me begrudgingly. Anyway, the owner was terrific and gave us some suggestions about the museum and the shop. I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. The beginning part takes you thru some American history including representations of life in the 1600's, into the 18th century, spends time detailing life on the underground railroad and then into the depression etc. They have a wonderful display of Shakertown and provide information about what life was like for Shakers (Shakertown is close by and well worth a visit as well). There then is a city that tells a story about a wedding that the town is preparing for. There also is a fantasy (fairies and elves etc.) section. I did not really like this part and would have preferred it if they would have detailed Kentucky life like the coal industry and some other things that make Kentucky special. The store had a lot to choose from. My girlfriend could have stayed here for hours-and she did. I did get a little bored with that, but that's really more about her than the shop. Anyway, I would recommend visiting this if you are in the area even for people like myself who aren't into dollhouses the craftsmanship and the history that is portrayed makes the visit worth it. If you are a dollhouse collector, well you will be in heaven!

I've always loved miniatures. There's something magical about tiny replications of history and life. Lori has done an amazing job of gathering dollhouses in a clever, museum style way so that you can peek into each room and transport yourself back in time. The houses are placed up on tables to make viewing through plexiglass more convenient. The first set when you enter the large open room of a former armory focuses on a historical timeline. I loved the underground railroad rooms. Then, the center of the museum is designed like a fictional town, with residential houses and rooms, shops, and commercial buildings. Each room is filled with miniatures designed/donated by other enthusiasts. Some are very old. Younger visitors might enjoy the fantasy space with trolls and such, but our favorites were the market shops and 1950's kitchen in the regular area.It was a treat to relax and walk slowly through - delighted to dream. My husband came with me and enjoyed the "technical" side of all the work done in these creative vignettes.Locally owned and operated, they have done a nice job of sharing their passion with others. There's also a store with 1000's of tiny items to choose from. Prices are average. We padi $8 to enter and were happy to help support their business.

How often do you hear an 8 yr old say "oh!" And "ah!" over and over In one place? We had a wonderful visit to this Dollhouse Museum. It is a massive collection of doll houses and fun stories that leave the imagination to run wild. We spent a good part of our afternoon peaking into the lives of these stories and spent a good amount of time in the store as well. There is even a play area for the little ones, can't beat that. We really enjoyed spending an afternoon there and will be visiting again.
